Glad everyone is talking online and sharing and encouraging. Don is getting Steven's car inspected and I have errands to run, so he'll drop me off the at the church to copy bulletins, and then we will run errands together. I really wanted to do this myself, but he wants me and him time, and maybe do Christmas shopping, but we can't be all day doing this cause I have a Ladies meeting at the church at 5 p.m.! I will still have to feed the animals too when I get back, so will be quick trips, and hopefully a visit to see my mother too.

VERSE FOR TODAY: "Now is is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful." I Cor. 4:2

QUOTE: A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in a little thing becomes a great thing.

THOUGHT: Is losing weight a little thing? HUH?

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Make a phone call and walk today. Do some aerobics to get the heart rate up. Do a few household chores for exercise. Encourage someone with a post today. Weigh yourself. Journal your calories.

TIP FOR TODAY: To keep from eating while you are preparing a meal, chew a piece of sugar-free chewing gum. It works for after the meal too, so you are not nibbling on the leftovers. Nibbling can really add up the calories! Ouch!

TODAY is Weight workouts and willful walking Wednesday!

ENCOURAGEMENT from others can be just what you need to keep going and not to give up. Being friendly at the gym, and talking with others about your weight loss journey can be so beneficial to your journey!

WE ARE NEARLY TWO WEEKS INTO DECEMBER ALREADY! HAVE YOU GOTTEN NEARER TO YOUR MONTHLY GOAL? HAVE A HEALTHY DAY!

* STILL TRYING TO POST PHOTOS AND NOTHING. EH HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND HOPEFULLY A TECH IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM! I MISS POSTING MY PHOTOS!

Yeh, at 226# Progress!

Good morning to you!

Back to 227# Fluctuation in weight happens all the time. A glass of water can add on a lb. really fast!

Good morning to you!

I looked at Jason's car this morning now that the sun is coming up, and the trunk will need replaced and the tail light for sure. It don't look too bad from a distance, but am sure that his future father-in-law feels terrible about backing into his car last evening at his home. But thankfully, he has insurance to cover the damage.

THINKING OF OTHERS: When we think of others, it does help lower your BP (blood pressure) and does good for your body overall. Doing Christmas cards or a letter and sending to family members and friends can be memorable and helpful. Sharing a memory or a note along with your card can help your overall health too. I will be doing some cards today and working on homemade Christmas Card gift boxes too. The craft is using two card fronts, and one turns into a lid and the other a box that fits into each other.

VERSE FOR THE DAY: "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." Galatians 5:16

THOUGHTS: Being spirit-filled instead of calorie-filled gets results.

LESSON FOR THE DAY: Spending some quiet time with God in meditation or with a prayer walk can strengthen your heart, give you a fill of perseverance, and leads us away from temptations. Relying on His strength is offered to all who but will receive it.

RAINBOW COLORS - Color your plate with the rainbow colors, thus the colors of my daily post that are a reminder to us all to eat healthy colors every day. Vegetables and fruits with vibrant colors are full of fiber and healthy nutrients that aid in boosting our metabolism, keeping us full, and giving the best to our overall body and digestive system. So, eat up!

TIP FOR TODAY: Having the right shoes on your feet is an important thing to remember. Having a right fit so your shoes are not flopping, and having the right type of shoe for walking or running is also important.

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Try some weight-bearing exercises today and enjoy a good walk outdoors. The day here in PA is to warm up to 50, and will be an opportunity to get outdoors and get some sunshine too. Take a 15 minute walk or longer if you can. Keep your water bottle handy all day long! Journal your calories today!

Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour. - John Boswell!

MAKE IT WORK! DO THE WORK! SEE IT WORK!

Have a healthy-choice day!

ps: I'm enjoying the special articles on EH today about diabetic snack ideas and diabetic dessert recipes! Great ideas. Thanks to the EH person who posted it this morning!

My Christmas letters are copied, decorated, envelope stuffed, and most are already gone in the mail. I hope to work on the Christmas gift boxes and want to put two candy kisses in them and maybe a mini Hershey bar. The gift boxes are ones that you can give and then regive. They are made from a Christmas card front and takes two to make a box. When EH gets the photo setup going again, I will post a photo.

Today is WEIGH-IN DAY. You can post right on the post or if you are on the Gypsies spreadsheet, remember to post today. I maintained for the week, so still at 226.5.

RELAXATION is a key to rebuilding the muscles you worked so hard on with exercise and weight bearing lifts. I am now enjoying my spa, which is now repaired, and am so relaxed after a 15-minute water workout in 100 degree water!

It is sunny here this morning in PA, but was 30 degrees last I looked, but is to get to 46 degrees today. I do plan to get outside and take a walk, and walk to a few neighboring homes to deliver their Christmas letter by hand. I challenge you today to get out and meet and greet, and take advantage of the sunshine for some Vitamin D.

How is the DOS-WEEK CHALLENGE going for you? Did you try any of it? Some have, and it is a good challenge to work on getting into a routine of drinking water, doing an exercise, eating fruits and vegetables, focusing on protein or fiber, and brushing your teeth daily, and more. Saturday is the final day for this challenge.

VERSE FOR TODAY: "Make no mistake about this: God is not to be fooled; a man reaps what he sows." Galatians 6:7

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY: Are you getting results? No? Maybe you are reaping what you are sowing? We may be able to fool others, but if you don't put in the work, you do not get results. When you work hard on avoiding sugars and white flours and work hard on doing exercises and staying active, you feel better, and you get results!

TRIVIA QUESTION: Can you name a food that is both protein and fiber? _________

REMEMBER TO EAT THE COLORS THE RAINBOW TODAY! HAVE A MOVING AND ACTIVE DAY TODAY! MAKE IT WONDERFUL!

EATING out put me at 229.5 today. Starting a two-week challenge to lose 5#. Must get the lbs. off!

Good morning everyone!

Don and I got some Christmas shopping out of the way and did not go overboard by any means. He was very worried about spending anything since he is laid off, so we only got a few things, and I said it was enough. We bought reasonable things, and decided to help Jason with gasoline and groceries, so gift cards will be the wisest for him, and Steven needed a crock pot and a small safe, so shopping small is what we did, but is still huge for our circumstances.

PRAYERS are on my mind for those affected with a loss of a loved one and those who lost children in the shooting in Connecticut! Hearing the news while shopping is devestating and I certainly was thinking of Jordan and Erica, and thinking that if it can happen in CT, it could happen in PA too! How sad that people can take a life, and also those of young minds, and at a school. How come the school didn't have its doors locked? All schools here locally lock down after everyone is in! Why not in CT? We can always asked the What ifs! Hopefully, the community will come together for understanding and comfort with each other! It is so sad that this has happened, and also just before Christmas! What a horrific reminder each year hereafter this will be for so many families! But God can also bring something good from a tragedy too! We just have to wait and see what that will be! Yes, what is our world coming to?

VERSE FOR TODAY: "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called." Ephesians 4:1

THOUGHTS: Have you ever left yourself go physically? Eating constantly, doing more damage, putting more weight on? People do watch us. People can lose respect from others if they give up on themselves. Are you following a path that is worthy and of an example of health? Let us live to be fit! Together!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The one who attempts to be better than himself is likely to have more success than the one who attempts to be better than someone else."

DOS-WEEK CHALLENGE comes to an end today. How did you do on this challenge? I struggled with getting in aerobics several days this week, but got in some long walks on errand running days in town. I did well with eating fruits and vegetables and enjoyed many Slim fast shakes with raspberries and frozen bananas too. Post your results of your challenge today. Do you have an idea for a challenge you would like to do? Just share!

TWO-WEEK CHALLENGE - Dec. 16-31 - Lose 5# with me! Ready - set - go! How do you plan to do this?

TODAY'S TIP: Sneak water by adding more to your soup, your tea, your drinks, and your smoothies. Adding ice to your drinks is a great way to sneak in a few more ounces!

EACH DAY BRINGS NEW THINGS, SOME GOOD, SOME BAD! PRAY FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVE BAD NEWS, AND GIVE PRAISE FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVE GOOD NEWS! THINKING OF OTHERS WILL BOOST YOUR AWARENESS OF OTHERS AND YOU WON 'T DWELL ON YOUR OWN TROUBLES! WE ALL HAVE THEM! BUT I GIVE MINE TO GOD! HOW ABOUT YOU? HAVE A HEALTHY DAY!

THOUGHTS: Are you dieting halfway? Is your heart really in it? Why are you doing it? Are you ready for change and a challenge? No more halfway measures. Throwing all your energy and commitment into losing weight should be your desire. Let’s resolve this together and have no indecision and insincerity!

CHALLENGES FOR TODAY: Decide to try the –week challenge to lose 5# before the end of the year. Take a good walk today. Turn away from an unhealthy snack today! Carry a water bottle with you.

FOOD CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: Try switching all your foods to whole-grain products from the white floured products.

THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!

Steven is having a family/friend gathering at his apartment later today, and am sure he will have pizza. Moderation is the key. The Dallas Cowboys (Steven's gunning for them) and the Pittsburgh Steelers ( Jason is gunning for them) will be playing, and we all will be there to root for both teams. May the best men win! I will wear blue and white underneath, and a Pitt on top! That way, I can root for both. Got to support the kids, right?

* photos still are not posting.

I was up to 229.5 yesterday morning, but weighed in at 227# this morning. Doing the 2-week 5# challenge until Dec. 31. Do you want to join in on this challenge?

Good morning to you:

The website ate my post! I really hate typing things TWICE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH EH AND THEIR PHOTO POSTING SITUATION? That is so frustrating too when you CAN'T POST a photo. WHAT ARE THE TECHS DOING? Yes, it is Monday and I am thoroughly discouraged with so much! I hate my reading on the scale too! I hate what weekends do to me too! I hate fluctuations up and down and up again!

TODAY IS MEDITATE AND MOVING MUSCLES MONDAY!

Jason, my son, is taking his car in for repairs today and my husband Don is picking him up and they will do some Christmas shopping. I have some quick errand to run, and hopefully I can get motivated to make a difference in my gym today. I am not in the mood for exercise, and oh so not motivated to do a thing. I hate what the scale is doing and I'm hating going through a weekend with temptations and failing. I know it is one day at a time, one step at a time, but also I'm so frustrated with my hormones, my thyroid, and not having my walking room because my husband has the train display going up and will be up until mid-January. It is rainy outside, so I can't walk outside either, and I simply just hate the cold weather. What can I say, I'm not happy!

PATIENCE IS WHAT I NEED. I know better, but I just need to be still a bit, and not overthink what I need to do.

VERSE FOR TODAY: "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10.

THOUGHTS: Yes, I know that God is with me in all that I do, but just have to remind myself of that when things seem to pile up on me. Knowing that I won't be able to get to my year-end goal is a bummer, but I continue on with the race to get as close as I can get. Doing the TWO-WEEK CHALLENGE=-LOSE 5# -Dec. 16-31 is on my agenda. ARe you with me?

Yes, I have days that I don't seem like I'm motivating myself, and am allowed to have a day like this now and then, but need to kick myself out of it, cause it isn't a nice feeling. maybe some lively Christmas music will help.

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Planning my week, making a good grocery list of good choices, doing some kind of exercises like squats and a 30 minute walk will help. Having two fruits and 3 vegetables, and some lean meat, and milk for calcium, is just what I need. Avoiding temptations at socials for the weekend didn't help matters, so avoiding all temptations today and avoiding all breads will get me further in the game today. Join me, ok? Motivate me!

WEIGHT-BEARING exercises help build muscles, so I hope to get in some cardio WITH MUSIC, since my guys won't be here this morning. Hoping that I can boost my own motivation this morning and get out of this slump and change the numbers on the scale.

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY: What is your BMI and MBR numbers? Do you know what they are today? When was the last time you figured out your numbers? Do you know how?What can you do to motivate yourself and others? When was the last time you took a moment to write a helpful encouraging post? ALSO, is it possible to overdo exercise to the point of being discouraged and wanting to not do it?

For me - yes! I need out of this mood!

LET'S MAKE THIS DAY COUNT! TURN THE TABLES ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS!

TOO MUCH!

Rains are coming down fairly well here in mid-PA and soon the temperatures will drop and the rain is expected to turn to snow. It seems like the warmer mild days are now behind us and winter weather is moving in. I'm thankful that I have heating oil coming Wednesday too. What are you thankful for? Giving thanks gets us out of those depressed moods, just like taking a walk outside and enjoying the day! Is it raining where you are?

I found a way to post a paste of an inspiration I get, so hopefully you will be inspired. Enjoy the verse for today!

VERSE FOR TODAY: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Peter 3:18

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Give thanks to God for 5 things today. Do 10 minutes of your choice of cardio. Start your day off with a tall glass of cold water! Enjoy a fruit for breakfast. Do 10 minutes of household chores!

QUOTE FOR TODAY: I am determined to make it, no matter what!

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY: From the day you first started here on EH, compared to today, can you see some changes that you have been doing? Has your commitment improved? Is perseverance a huge part of your success? Have your worsened or improved? Do you have more confidence? Do you have more knowledge? I hope so!

TIP FOR THE DAY: Read the labels. How many times do you sit down to have breakfast and you read the back of the cereal box? Do you read the ingredients label? How about the labels of your other foods? Take time today to check out the labels and look at fiber, sugar content, calories, and nutrients in your food choices.

TRIVIA QUESTION: Can you name 4 fruits that begin with the letter "P"?

TODAY IS TAKE TIME TO TRY TIPS AND TRANSFORM TICKERS TUESDAY!

Tickers can be created by going to the tickerfactory.com. You can create your own cartoon and add in your weight to have your BMI showing too. It is nice to see a ticker with creativity! It shows your personality too!

NEVER GIVE UP! EAT MORE FIBER! LAUGH OFTEN!

Tickers can be created by going to the tickerfactory.com. You can create your own cartoon and add in your weight to have your BMI showing too. It is nice to see a ticker with creativity! It shows your personality too!

At 227# again, and hubby dropped to 224#. Guys do lose faster than women. The men have more muscle mass, so not being discouraged he is losing faster than me.

Good morning buddies!

Today is WEIGHT WORKOUTS AND WILLFUL WALKING WEDNESDAY!

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY": Comfort! We all need comfort after attempting something that is difficult and painful. How do you survive the ordeal? We find comfort in our faith, and in other people, friends, and even strangers at times. We can receive strength and courage from the words of others. When we include others in our own weight-loss programs, we can be so blessed! When I include God, he soothes and comforts every time.

VERSE FOR THE DAY: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14:18

NUTRITION CHALLENGE: Eliminate salt. Use pepper, cayenne, or other spices to spruce up your foods. I know black pepper is a metabolism booster. Several dashes in your pasta dishes, meats and vegetables will give you that little extra boost! Plan to make your meals home-made. You will know what ingredients are in them and there is no guessing on the sodium levels. Many times, fast foods and restaurants make things difficult in figuring out the number of calories in their dishes, if they aren't provided on the menu. Foods can be saturated in bad oils, butter, salt, and other unhealthy ingredient and is something to avoid. Steamed vegies is a good choice and you can add pepper at the table for flavor. Every calorie counts!

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Do 20 desk pushups. A study desk or bathroom or kitchen counter make a good place to give these a try. I actually like doing these and strengthen the arms very well. If you can only do 3 or 5, break it down and do some throughout the day up to 20 total. It will show you that you need some strength training. If you can do 20 right off, you are strong and can work on lower body training and walking challenges.
Work at getting 10,000 steps in today.

NUTRITION: Snacks keep you from getting hungry in between meals. Choose fresh fruit, dried fruit, cut up vegies, nuts, seseme seeds, or other healthy options. Stay away from salty snacks such as chips and pretzels, and especially the dip. We are getting into holiday party time. Avoid the bad choices, and opt for the healthy ones. Remember to drink plenty of water each day! I shoot for 104 ounces daily. The more, the better. Fiber and water keeps you regulated and keeps you from getting IBS (irritable bowel syndrone.)

FUN CHALLENGE: See how many jumping jacks you can do in 30 seconds.

NUTRITION CHALLENGE: Since muscle is protein, bodybuilders assume that eating huge amounts of protein foods promote muscle growth. That's not the case. Everyone needs at least .8 grams of protein each day for every kilogram of body weight. To convert to pounds, divide the pounds by 2.2. If you weigh 170 lbs., that is 77 kilograms. You would need 62 grams of protein a day (77x.8). An egg as 6.3 grams, 3.5 ounces of chicken has 32, 3.5 ounces of ground beef has 32, a cup of baked beans has 14, and ounce of peanuts has 7. It's not hard to meet the protein requirements. Those working out in hard physical labor easily can take twice the recommendations. People need 1,000 IU of vitamin D and 1200 mg of calcium each day. An 8-ounce glass of nonfat milk has 86 calories, 8.4 grams of protein, and 247 mg of calcium. An 8-ounce of soy milk has 81 calories, 6.7 grams of protein and 10 mg of calcium. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Do not do without protein. Eat the recommended amount each day for muscle growth, don't overdo. Eat smart!

TRIVIA QUESTION FOR TODAY: Tis the season for EGGNOG! What d you know about it? How many calories are in a cup of eggnog? Is it beneficial to drink it or is it something you should avoid? How much fat is in it? or is it a healthy drink? Please share your thoughts!

DON'T LOSE YOUR FOCUS! WALK STRAIGHT!

Yes, I'm freaking out seeing the mid-west weather heading our way and was going to do errands tomorrow, but bumped it up to today. So far, calm, and winds are breezy and overcast, but coming here to PA later tonite and Friday for sure, with what I see.

I have bulletins to print at the church for Sunday and Christmas Eve and have a few stores to get groceries and rabbit feed today too in case of bad weather, I want to be stocked up.I hate the cold and hate the thought of shoveling snow. Didn't check the skunk trap I set yet, and hoped the visiting skunk the other night moved on, but doubt it. There is just too many places to hide at the neighbors with their unkept place.

I'm thinking of making a batch or two of cookies tomorrow, and some banana bread with whole wheat flour, hoping to try that. Making whole grain choc. chip cookies since I found a good recipe. Trying to make things healthier too and so Don can enjoy a little so he don't feel deprived.

I'm at 227# too and maintained for two days, but dropped a little since I as 229# earlier in the week.

Keep the snow. I don't want it. Been concentrating more on calorie intake than doing lots of exercise. Right knee aches yet and shoulders sore, so watching that I don't irritate muscles while they heal. Got outside some throughout the week, but cold is here now. Glad I'm maintaining and not gaining too.

TODAY is Trimming Thighs and Toe-Touching Thursday!

QUOTE FOR TODAY: Why even THINK of quitting? Be strong and coureageous!

VERSE FOR TODAY: "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy." Matthew 2:10

THOUGHTS: Joy in your life improves the mood, which in turns improve your weight loss. Sing some Christmas songs and celebrate the true season of Christmas! Just how many people miss the joy of Christmas because they don't look?

CHRISTMAS TRIVIA: Do you know what food Baby Jesus was fed when he was a baby? Check out Isaiah 7:15. Interesting! I guess we learn something everyday! Did you know the answer without looking it up?

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Strap on the pedometer for the day and see if you can walk over 5000 steps or more. Drink 8 glasses of water, and eat 2 fruits today. Walk and talk on the phone today.

TIP FOR TODAY: Chew a piece of sugar-less gum while preparing your foods and putting leftovers away. It will keep you from snacking before and after, which can amount to several hundred calories saved!

SPEND YOURSELF FOR OTHERS THIS CHRISTMAS! SPEND LESS - GIVE MORE! THINK OF TIME, NOT PURCHASES!

Have a great day too!

Winds are howling here in PA, and temperatures are near freezing, with a forecast of snow to move in today and Saturday. So, I'm making cookies today and some banana nut bread too. Share a healthy recipe today. That is your challenge! A healthy chocolate chip cookie that I plan to make is this...

HEALTH CHALLENGE: Start your morning off with a glass of water. Have a glass of milk with your breakfast for your calcium needs. Do your choice of cardio today and do 0 squats and 20 kitchen counter pushups. I will try this while waiting for cookies to get out of the oven. Also, eat snacks in moderation, and eat two fruits for sure! Trim fat from meats and choose lean if all possible.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Has anyone ever cooked a whole chicken in the crock pot before?

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, WE WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT! Psalm 118:24

I had a good visit with my mother yesterday while I ran my errands in town, and Don did come along, because he insisted. He walked at the church while I photocopied bulletins, and am glad he wanted to walk, as well at the nursing home too. I was disappointed some that I couldn't finish up Christmas shopping without him along, so I decided for the second time that I give up and decided not to buy anything more for him. He will have to live with two gifts only. He has a January birthday, so will save my ideas for then. My mother was more on the talkative side, still confused, but unable to eat on her own, so I fed her and she ate everything! She knew us and enjoyed Don's jokes too. I told her to watch the outside for the coming snow too. I think it will look like Christmas when it gets here too! I am thankful that I now have oil in my oil tanks too for the winter and just in time!

HAVE A HEALTHY DAY AND HUGS THOSE AROUND YOU TODAY! MAKE HEALTHY AND WISE CHOICES TODAY! *STILL CAN'T POST MY PHOTOS YET HERE ON EH.

It is a countdown to Christmas, and plans for services at local churches this weekend and Monday evening. Gifts are wrapped and cookies are baked.

Sadness is affecting our community now as lives were lost in the story I shared yesterday with Don's co-workers and a church lady being murdered by a gunman, and 3 state troopers who were shot and survived the ordeal. We learned that the story is making national news today, so you may hear the story from Geezeytown, Hollidaysburg, PA.

Today is Strong shoulders and stop sabotaging Saturday. Seems like I sabotage a lot of Saturdays!

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY: Do some chores around the house to count as exercise. Start your day with a glass of water. Have a healthy breakfast, and be mindful when you eat. Journal, and use a pedometer to encourage yourself to stay active.

QUOTE FOR TODAY: Hug someone you love.

THOUGHTS: When tragedies hit communities, you think about the what ifs, and it brings you to more awareness of your friends, neighbors, relatives, and community members. The Geezeytown incident was less than a mile from my niece's home.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, in order that we might know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

With tradegies on my mind, I am reminded of the Scripture verse that reminds me of God's love. "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

John 14:18

REACH OUT CHALLENGE: Reaching out to others while in your weight loss challenge, can encourage and motivate you as well. It is also a sense of comfort!

STICK WITH THE PLAN AND DON'T GIVE UP!

It started snowing here about 2 p.m. in south central PA, and will come down all night and into Christmas Day.

We were to get sleet and freezing rain, but it started as all snow and will stay as snow now, that the temperatures have dropped to freezing. So quiet, so calm, but can be so beautiful. Just so it stays off the roads, but well...it isn't!

Stay safe where you are and drive safe it you are out and about.

My hubby,Don, wants to go sledding, well not really, but joked about it! I'm not up for it ...yet! It is still snowing, and is getting deeper and crunchy to walk in. Well, I did WALK around the house today with the camera!

It is a well-packed kind of snow too! Snowball fight?

He put the snow plow on the lawn tractor today, so we are ready for the big snow if it keeps coming down.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE HERE ON EH!

Still at 227#. Working on it while walking and taking photos.

Enjoy!

It is a White Christmas Eve here in PA! How about where you live?

I am thoroughly disappointed! How can I tell you that it isn't my choice to leave EH!

EH Hal Straus, Editorial Director from EH, just sent me an email saying they are terminating my position and others who are Community Weight Loss Leaders program as of Dec. 31, 2012.

Even though EH Caitlin left, she won't be replaced either. My notification was by email, too, which was unexpected. Why did they consider to cut me? I don't know. I am one of the most active EH leaders here!

Who else is being cut? Who will lose out? You too? This is my love and joy each day, and seems to be ending suddenly with Dec. 31 as my final day, unless I visit voluntarily.

Most of all, how do I tell my husband Don this, who is laid off until April 26, 2013?

I asked EH to reconsider. Please express your plea to keep me here and find a way to keep me! I am totally beside myself and by myself in this! Is this going to a Happy New Year now for me? This was my career choice and love to be here and help others. Now what do I do?

They broke my contract and gave no reason except that they are terminating the program and my hired position was good until mid-May 2013 too! I am saddened, truly saddened! Unless they reconsider, Dec. 31 is my final day here!
